Synopsis:

A man murderes his father, unaware that it is his father and marries his mother accidentally. The gods punish him with and for those crimes, for which they destined him even before he was born. Oidip accuses himself of these mistakes proclaiming divine wisdom, but the laws of the gods are different from worldly laws as stated by André Bonard "strange religion, annoying morals, implausible situations, arbitrary psychology " (André Bonard, Greek civilization).

This production of the National Theatre in Sibiu is an abridgement after “Oedipus in Colonos” and “Oedipus King” by Sophocles and surprises by the force of its almost cinematographic vision which of the director’s montage which combines the real with the imaginary, developing a poetry of heartbreaking details. Oedipus is one of the most beautiful texts of dramatic literature. As noted before, I returned to the Greek tragedy after many years, which was an occasion to practice again my appetite to create the same images with which I had not worked for a long time, the director declared, during the rehearsals in Sibiu.
